It was great to so many of you at our tour of the Cleveland Art Museum on September 10. It was very informative and exciting to see and hear about this extremely ambitious project happening in our city.

The Cleveland Museum of Art is making a huge bet on our region. It is easy to be pessimistic or at least apathetic about our prospects, but to see the significant investments that the Art Museum, the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, etc. are making brings me a great deal of hope.

Let us think about the impact we can have as part of the construction industry on the future of our region. Let's leverage the investment being made by these great institutions into excitement about our future.

There is no more important or in my opinion exciting part of the future of our business than sustainability. Several of our upcoming programs look to increase our awareness of some of the trends that our shaping our sustainable future. I hope to see you all at several of them.
